Chapter 201 Flying Magic Plant

After Locke and Ruby left the drying room, Ruby said to Locke, “Augustine Breeder, with level two redemption authority, can redeem medium- to high-grade Magic Plant seeds. Level three redemption authority can redeem medium-quality Magic Plant seeds.”

“Every room here preserves a certain type of magical plant.”

Ruby said, “There are 666 rooms in total. Breeder Augustine, do you have a preference? That way, I can better identify the magical plant you need and avoid wasting your time on this lengthy search for seeds.”

Ruby looked at Locke with admiration and whispered, “I know which are the best rooms here. I will recommend them to you first.”

“Thank you for your advice before.”

“You are the first breeder to point out my problem. I really envy the students who can be taught by you.”

“You have a keen eye for detail. You spotted my problem right away and kindly pointed it out to me.”

Locke glanced at Ruby. If there were 666 rooms in the germplasm bank used to store magic plant seeds, then the specific contents in each room would only be known by germplasm bank employees like Ruby.

They are all medium to high quality magic plant seeds, but some are rare magic plants, some are common magic plants, and some are even magic plant seeds with serious defects.

There is a huge difference between the two.

Some of the seeds stored in the germplasm bank are simply due to some rare but benign mutations that may not necessarily be beneficial in combat.

For example, the color of the calyx has changed, etc.

Locke asked calmly, “Who is your teacher?”

Ruby was stunned for a moment. “Uh? What’s up, Senior? My teacher is Master Harlan Vera.”

“However, the senior who actually taught me was Master Harlan Vera’s student, the first-class wizard apprentice Zeni Baldwin.”

Locke nodded slightly, no wonder.

It seems that working in the germplasm bank is a very good job. If this second-class wizard apprentice of the wood elf wants to get this job, it is obviously impossible without some connections.

She was a student of Harlan Vera’s, so that made sense.

Locke didn’t argue with her about this issue any further. “Ruby, if I come to the seed bank to exchange magic plant seeds in the future, I will choose you as my trader.”

Locke hesitated. “If you have any questions during this process, you can ask me. But it’s best if you ask meaningful questions.”

Ruby’s face showed surprise. “Thank you, Senior.”

Locke nodded slightly, this was a reasonable deal.

Obviously, if you have a stable trader in the gene bank, you can get a lot of convenience.

You can avoid many pitfalls.

There are many potential benefits here.

Locke said indifferently, “I would like to use the second-level exchange authority first to exchange for a magical plant that can increase my movement speed or enhance my mobility.”

His attacks include the Shooter Pea, the Rotten Amorphophallus King, the Clivia, and three Omen Mandrake Vines. For defense, he has the Eye of Perseus Lichen, but he still lacks magical plants that increase his mobility.

Relying solely on the Night Feather Robe and Agility Arm Ring on his body is still too limited in scope.

In the stealth decapitation operation against the Blood Curse Tribunal, mobility will be a key ability.

Ruby thought for a moment and said, “Okay, Master Breeder Augustine. I know what you need. Then we will take you to room 36.”

The two walked along the hollow iron platform, five hundred meters underground. About twenty minutes later, they came to an alchemy room with the number 36 written on it.

Ruby used the low-authority magic key worn around her neck and the academy stamp of the second-level authority exchange opportunity in Locke’s hand to open the magic door.

As the magic lock of the protection school on the magic door slowly turned, one rune code after another matched each other, and then the magic door opened.

Ruby led Locke into Room 36. She saluted and raised her right hand in a gesture of invitation. “Master Breeder Augustine, although I am only a second-class wizard apprentice and don’t know the exact standards you require, I do know which magical plant seeds are in high demand in the germplasm bank.”

“Look at the functional magical plants in this room. They seem to be the ones favored by the breeders.”

Ruby’s cheeks flushed slightly. “Some people even give gifts in advance.”

Locke nodded slightly. As long as there is responsibility, it means there is power corresponding to the responsibility.

Ruby’s job comes with a certain amount of power, and in some cases, this power might be suddenly valued by someone in a higher position, who might give her certain benefits.

Of course, there are risks in taking these benefits. Locke remembers that the college’s top management has severe penalties for taking advantage of professional convenience to receive benefits.

If the college investigates, the offender may be fined or even sentenced to death.

Locke observed the magic plants on the shelves in this room, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Just as Ruby said, there were many fine magic plant seeds in this room.

They are all medium to high quality magic plant seeds, but there are many rare medium to high quality magic plant seeds in this room.

For example, in front of him, on the shelf, there were spores of the army mushroom in a glass bottle. Next to it was a specimen with an adult specimen of the army mushroom, indicating that the spores of the mushroom magic plant were from the army mushroom.

Locke remembered the marching mushroom, a kind of mobile magical plant that had become extinct in the outside world. Using the accompanying plant spell [Traveling a Thousand Miles a Day], he used two of these mushrooms to form a pair of mushroom shoes under his feet, allowing him to walk and move quickly.

Chasing enemies and escaping are both very useful spells.

Locke’s eyes lit up slightly, and he wanted to exchange it for marching mushrooms, but when he glanced around, he found an even better magic plant on a shelf behind this one. It was actually a flying magic plant, the Honey Cloud Orchid!

The seeds of the honey cloud orchid are similar to dandelion seeds and are placed in a transparent glass jar, next to which is a specimen of an adult of this magical plant.

The overall color is blue and white porcelain, which is magnificent and has a tranquil beauty.

Locke remembered that this was a very rare flying magic plant in the apprentice stage. Its flying ability could essentially be considered as the ability to jump to nearly infinite heights, which was considered a very powerful ability among various magic factions.

This flying magic plant is extremely rare.

“Ruby, thank you.” Locke said, “The magic plant seeds stored in Room 36 that you recommended to me are indeed good.”

These magic plant seeds are so rare that I don’t think there will be too many of them stored in the germplasm bank.

Therefore, Locke also knew clearly that not all breeders came to exchange magic plant seeds. They could come to this room and see rare magic plant seeds of such good quality.

More people may be guided to other rooms where relatively common magic plant seeds are stored.

Ruby said with a look of admiration, “I should thank you. It is truly an honor for me to be taught by an excellent apprentice like you.”

Locke nodded slightly. So that’s how it is. It seems that the badge of outstanding apprentice is indeed useful.

At least others can know your excellence at the first glance at the badge on your chest.

Locke remembered the Honey Cloud Orchid. Although it was not the best flying magic plant among the apprentices, it was already an excellent flying magic plant. Using the plant spell model [Floating Flower Ball], the highest flight record could even reach an altitude of 6 to 7 kilometers.

But the disadvantage is that the flight speed is very slow. In fact, this kind of magic plant is more suitable for scientific research, such as going into the atmosphere to study the atmospheric composition and atmospheric temperature at different altitudes.

It is a magical plant that is more inclined towards scientific research functions and is not suitable for combat.

But considering that this is a flying magic plant, the best among all mobile magic plants, it is better for me to choose this kind of magic plant.

But Locke took a quick glance and discovered that there were other flying magical plants in the room, which were far more suitable for him than the Honey Cloud Orchid!
